Family Law Solicitor

Work Type: Permanent Part-Time (days and hours negotiable)

​About Us

At Lexford Law, we do family law differently. We are a growing boutique family law firm on the Sunshine Coast, specialising in Family Law matters and providing empathetic, practical, and high-quality legal support to our clients.

As a growing firm, we are building our team thoughtfully and creating a workplace where people can do great legal work without sacrificing their personal lives. We don't measure success by gruelling billable hours or late nights at a desk. Instead, we pride ourselves on a warm, collaborative, and genuinely supportive team environment where mental health and family come first.

​The Opportunity

​We are seeking an experienced Family Law Solicitor to join our team on a permanent, part-time basis.

​We are deliberately structuring this role to be highly flexible. It is perfectly suited for:

• ​Parents returning to the workforce after parental leave or an extended career break, looking for a school-hours-friendly schedule.

• Experienced practitioners looking to ease back or scale down (semi-retirement), wanting to keep their mind sharp and legal skills active without the stress of full-time practice management.

• Solicitors who enjoy practising family law but are looking for a part-time role without the demands and commitment of full-time practice.

As Lexford Law continues to grow, there is also the opportunity for this role to develop into full-time work in the future, for the right person.

​What We Offer

• ​True Flexibility: Whether you want 2 days a week, 4 half-days, or school hours (e.g., 9:30 AM – 2:30 PM), we will work with you to design a schedule that fits your lifestyle.

• Remote Working: Work entirely from home, with no office-based work required.

• ​A Gentle Runway: If you’ve been out of the game for a while, we won't throw you into the deep end. We offer a supportive ramp-up period to help you find your feet again.

• ​Autonomy Without the Burnout: Manage a varied caseload of family law matters at a sustainable pace.

• Growth Opportunity: As the firm continues to expand, there is potential for the role and hours to grow over time, including the opportunity to progress to full-time work.

• ​Collaborative Culture: Work alongside a Principal who values your life experience and respects your boundaries.

​About You

​We care far more about your capability, empathy, and cultural fit than an unbroken resume.

Ideally, you will have:

• ​An admission as a Solicitor in the Supreme Court of QLD (with a current, or eligible to hold a current, Practising Certificate).

• ​Solid prior experience practicing in Family Law.

• ​Strong communication skills and a compassionate approach to helping clients navigating tough times.

• ​The desire to do great legal work while maintaining your lifestyle.
